Welcome back to another episode of Breaking Boundaries, the world's premier podcast for international students, or at least in the top 800.

歡迎回到 Breaking Boundaries 的最新一集，這是全球頂尖的 podcast，專為國際學生打造，至少也是前 800 名吧。

I'm John Clark with the TOEFL program, and

我是 John Clark，來自 TOEFL program，

I'm joined here today by Nick Journey with Colorado State University.

今天和我一起的是科羅拉多州立大學的 Nick Journey。

Nick, thank you for coming on the podcast.

Now, Nick, I was looking at some data before our conversation, and

Nick，在我們哈拉之前，我看了些數據，

I saw that There are nearly 10,000 international students in the state of Colorado.

我發現科羅拉多州有將近一萬名國際學生。

So Colorado has an enormous amount of folks from overseas.

所以科羅拉多州有非常多的海外人士。

I noted, too, that about a quarter of these students in the state of Colorado are from India.

我還注意到，科羅拉多州將近四分之一的學生來自印度。

So the best way I can describe Colorado State is that it's nestled in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, which are kind of America's Himalayas.

所以，我形容科羅拉多州立大學最好的方式就是，它坐落在落磯山脈的陰影下，那裡有點像是美國的喜馬拉雅山脈。

That's completely fair, and that's definitely one of our draws, Colorado.

完全說得通，這絕對是科羅拉多州的一大吸引力。

Sometimes for international students, it can be hard to know geographically, you know, where.

有時候國際學生很難地理上知道，你知道，在哪裡。

What is that square state in the middle of the country.

那個國家中間的方形州是什麼？

And Colorado is definitely kind of a destination state because we do have the Rocky Mountains.

科羅拉多州絕對是個目的地州，因為我們有落磯山脈。

Our campus is an hour away from some of the most beautiful scenery that you can see, certainly in the United States.

我們學校離一些最美的風景只有一小時的車程，絕對是美國這裡。

And I would posit, even in the world, just phenomenal views, great hikes, skiing, biking, wildlife, some really fun things to do in the.

我敢說，甚至全世界都有絕佳的風景、很棒的健行、滑雪、騎自行車、還有好多有趣的戶外活動。

I grew up in Oklahoma, which is even more square and even more in the middle of the country.

我在奧克拉荷馬州長大，那裡比這裡更方正，更在國家的中間。

And we would go to Colorado every summer for family vacations.

我們每年夏天都會去科羅拉多州度假。

And the common sentiment among Coloradans was, oh, gosh, here come the Texans and the Californians.

科羅拉多州當地人常說：「喔，天啊，德州人和加州人又來了。」

So it's fair to say that folks in areas of the US which may be more popular and famous, are.

所以，美國一些比較受歡迎、比較有名的地方的居民，

Some peak tourist seasons around ski time.

在滑雪季的時候，有些是旅遊旺季。

So it's ski season right now, and we see a lot of.

所以現在是滑雪季，我們看到很多。

A lot of folks coming in from out of state.

And again, a lot of outdoor activities, whether you're into to again, like biking, hiking, all of that.

而且，有很多戶外活動，無論你喜歡騎自行車、健行，還是其他。

It's a really, really pleasant place year round.

這裡全年都是個非常非常舒服的地方。

We like to boast that we get all four seasons, which is.

我們喜歡誇口說我們有四季分明的景色，這點。

We get springtime with wildflowers blooming.

And then the winter, you get to experience that famous Colorado snow.

然後到了冬天，你就能體驗到科羅拉多州那著名的雪景了。

所以這裡真的是個很棒的地方。

Now let's dive in a little bit more to the university itself.

現在，我們就來深入瞭解一下這所大學本身吧。

Colorado State is a very large public university, and

科羅拉多州立大學是一所很大的公立大學，

it's been growing over the past few decades as more Americans go to Colorado.

過去幾十年來，隨著越來越多美國人搬到科羅拉多州，學校也持續成長。

What types of support services are available for students from overseas?

有哪些提供給海外學生的支援服務呢？

I'll start by making a plug for my own office.

我先來推廣一下我自己的辦公室。

So it kind of starts before international students even arrive on campus.

所以，這其實在國際學生抵達校園之前就開始了。

We are the international enrollment center.

So we're dedicated solely to helping students through the application process, helping them submit their materials, helping them get their i20 document.

所以我們專門協助學生完成申請流程、提交資料，以及取得他們的i20文件。

All of that happens within the walls that I'm sitting in right now.

這一切都發生在我現在坐的這個辦公室裡。

So a very, a very supportive office from the start.

所以，從一開始就是一個非常、非常支持的辦公室。

Once you arrive on campus, the Office of International Programs, specifically International Student and Scholar Services team, is here to help students from the point of orientation through graduation and beyond.

一旦你抵達校園，國際事務處，特別是國際學生與學者服務團隊，會從迎新到畢業，甚至之後都持續協助學生。

So students have access to programming, so events to help them integrate with the campus community, the culture, the United States immigration, advising on, on call all the time to help with, with those visas.

所以學生可以參加各種活動，來幫助他們融入校園社群、文化，還有美國的移民法規諮詢，隨時都有專人協助處理簽證問題。

You have, you know, dedicated tutoring support on campus.

你們在校園裡有專屬的課業輔導支援。

You have an on campus health network that is phenomenal.

So access to health services, whether that's physical health, mental health, really robust safety resources.

所以可以獲得健康服務，無論是生理健康、心理健康，還有非常完善的安全資源。

If a student doesn't necessarily want to walk late at night from the library, they're studying late, they want to go back to their dorm, it's late, they don't feel comfortable, call campus safewalk.

如果學生晚上不想自己從圖書館走回宿舍，他們可能讀書讀到很晚，想回宿舍，但時間很晚了，他們感覺不安全，可以打電話給校園安全步行服務。

Somebody will meet you at the library and walk with you to your dorm.

會有人在圖書館跟你會合，陪你一起走回宿舍。

So again, these are just a tip of the iceberg of the services and support that are here on campus.

所以總的來說，這些只是校園裡提供的服務和支援的冰山一角。

這也是科羅拉多州立大學很棒的地方。

我們喜歡說「公羊照顧公羊」。

We are the Colorado State University Rams, so we really take care of one another here at csu.

我們是科羅拉多州立大學的公羊隊，所以我們在這裡真的很會互相照顧。

And international students will have no shortage of support.

I appreciate the distinction because in nature, the picture I have of Rams is that of butting heads.

我欣賞這個區別，因為在自然界中，我對公羊的印象是牠們會互相頂頭。

In fact, we have a living Ram on campus who makes frequent appearances.

事實上，我們在校園裡有一隻活生生的 Ram，牠經常出現。

He makes frequent appearances at campus events, sporting events, those kinds of things.

牠經常出現在校園活動、體育賽事等場合。

So students can even take a picture with the friendliest Ram that they'll ever meet.

所以學生甚至可以跟他們遇到的最友善的 Ram 合照。

It dawns on me this may be unique to the American college sports culture, but I love this.

我突然想到這可能對美國大學體育文化來說很特別，但我很喜歡。

Now, going back to the beginning of the process, since you're an admissions Expert, I'd like to drill down a little bit further on this on admissions.

現在，回到過程的開頭，既然您是招生專家，我想再深入探討一下招生方面。

Do you have any advice for international students with respect to what Colorado State is looking for in an applicant?

對於國際學生來說，您對科羅拉多州立大學在申請者身上尋找什麼有什麼建議嗎？

So we really try to make it as easy as possible to apply to Colorado State University.

所以我們真的很努力讓申請科羅拉多州立大學的過程盡可能簡單。

我們是一所公立的土地撥款機構。

What that means is we're committed to access.

這意味著我們致力於普及教育。

Our university was founded in 1852, I believe, so we've been around for a really long time.

我相信我們的學校創立於 1852 年，所以我們已經存在很久了。

We're the state's land grant institution, so we want as many students as possible to have access to a high quality education for international students.

我們是該州最重要的土地撥款機構，所以我們希望盡可能多的學生能有機會接受高品質的教育，特別是對於國際學生。

What that means, we want to see that you have, you know, you, you graduated a secondary school, so your high school, or you're in progress of obtaining those, that certification, or if you're a master's student, we want to see that you've completed a bachelor's degree or the equivalent, and

這表示我們想看到你已經，你知道，你已經從高中畢業，或者正在取得相關的學歷證明，又或者如果你是碩士班學生，我們希望看到你已經完成了學士學位或同等學歷，而且

we want to see that you were successful in that program.

我們希望看到你在該學程中表現成功。

We like to say a 3.0 GPA equivalent and our team will help convert that GPA if necessary.

我們傾向於說大約 3.0 的 GPA 等級，如果需要，我們的團隊會協助轉換 GPA。

So if your school grading system is a little different, we can help convert it into a US GPA, but

所以如果你的學校評分系統有點不同，我們可以協助將其轉換為美國的 GPA，但是
